Grateful for an Enriching Experience at Hope Uplift Foundation
I am pleased to share that I’ve successfully completed a two-month internship at Hope Uplift Foundation.
This internship, from June 12 to August 12, 2024, has been a remarkable learning journey, providing me with hands-on experience in various facets of nonprofit operations.
During my time at HUF, I had the opportunity to:
•Accounts Department: Gained an understanding of the difference between NPO and PO accounts, worked with Peachtree Software, and handled vouching and sourcing of invoices and funds received.
•Application Writing & Helpline Operations: Developed skills in drafting donation pitches for individuals and NGOs and managed helpline calls, addressing issues and providing resolutions.
•Administration: Attended detailed sessions on administration management, learning how to effectively manage staff and pitch for donations.
•Digital Media: Created content for Instagram, YouTube, and the HUF website using Canva.
•Women Empowerment HUB Store: Managed inventory, sales, and customer interactions while also contributing to the online store's product listings and descriptions.
•Public Assistance: Explored different HUF sectors, brainstormed innovative fundraising ideas, and wrote letters to corporate CSR departments for potential partnerships.
•Welfare and Furniture Shop: Managed invoicing, billing, customer relations, and product listings while assisting with the entire sales process, from donation collection to display.
•Vocational Training Center: Learned about the center’s operations and how it empowers women through training in skills like stitching and pressing clothes.
In addition, I had the privilege of stepping into a leadership role for two weeks, where I guided a team in executing several projects and initiatives.
This experience not only enhanced my leadership and decision-making skills but also reinforced the value of teamwork and effective communication.
This internship has not only expanded my knowledge and skills but also deepened my understanding of the critical role nonprofits play in community upliftment.
I am incredibly thankful to Miss Lubna Shakoh, President and Founder, and Sir Shahroz Janjua , Director of the Internship Program, for their unwavering support and guidance.
As I move forward, I am excited to apply what I’ve learned to future endeavors, always keeping in mind the importance of giving back to the community.

1moI had the opportunity to be involved in this experience with our Arizona interns and it was a wonderful experience! Their energy was upbeat and motivating which made the event a blast! Together with them we were able to package 100 boxes (21,600 meals) that were shipped to the Philippines for hungry children!
